Deuteronomy 19:6 [1] The nearest male relative of the victim, known as the "kinsman-redeemer" (Heb go'el), was responsible to find the guilty party and put him to death (NUM 35:19). The person who had committed the homicide was protected until his trial, so long as he remained in one of the three cities. After that, if he was judged innocent of any premeditation (like someone today judged guilty of manslaughter, but not murder), he was to remain in the city under protection from the avenger until the death of the high priest, at which time he could return to his home as a free man (NUM 35:28).
